How to Ding
"Guess I was misinformed," admitted Ding-Dong Bell Choir director Adele
Pringler after the ensemble actually sounded worse after she introduced its
members to the principles of "dinging management."

Composers Voice <http://www.NM421.com/img/14-12-29-Composers_Voice.jpg>
Composers' Voice
January 25, 2015
Sunday at 1:00pm
Composer's Voice presents the pinnacle of today's music with its
twice-monthly concert series of music by living composers at the Jan Hus
Church, 351 East 74th Street, New York City.
"it's on the edge of what's happening"
- Brant Lyon, Great Weather for Media
This concert features works by Skip La Plante, Dennis Bathory-Kitsz, Robert
Voisey, Masatora Goya, Cheryl Krugel-Lee and performances by pianist Yumi
Suehiro, violinisit Sabina Torosjan, guitarist Douglas DaSilva, violin &
shamisen Duo YUMENO.
Skip La Plante <http://www.voxnovus.com/composer/pic/Skip_La_Plante.jpg>
Skip La Plante invents, builds, composes for, performs on and teaches with
musical instruments built from trash. He co-founded the composer's
collective MUSIC FOR HOMEMADE INSTRUMENTS in 1975. He has had about 200
compositions performed professionally, many for MFHI and most of the rest
composed for theater and modern dance companies in NYC. He has created
somewhere between 200 and 300 instruments for his own projects, and tens of
thousands more in workshops in schools, museums, etc around the US. These
instruments run the gamut from simple, such as collections of tin cans used
as percussion instruments, to the complex, such as replicas of instruments
by microtonal pioneers Harry Partch and Julian Carillo in 43 pitch per
octave just intonation and 96 pitch per octave equal temperament
respectively. He lived in Indonesia for two years, studying both musical
performance and gamelan building, and has performed extensively with Gamelan
Kusuma Laras and Gamelan Son of Lion in the US. Working with Bash The Trash
over the last 20 years, he's done about 1500 performances in schools
throughout the northeast, as well as many instrument building workshops.
Robert_Voisey-Frigid_Piggy
<http://www.NM421.com/img/15-01-23-Frigid_Piggy.jpg>
Robert Voisey's graphic score "Frigid Piggy" will be performed by Douglas
DaSilva, Mastora Goya, Yumi Suhiro, and Hirona Amamiya. "With few
opportunities and much competition,...composers show creativity in just
getting heard." And in Chris Pasles's article in the Los Angeles Times,
Robert Voisey is highlighted as one of those composers. Composing
electroacoustic and chamber music, his aesthetic oscillates from the
Romantic to the Post Modern Mash-Up. His work has been performed in venues
throughout the world including: Carnegie Hall, World Financial Center Winter
Garden Atrium, and Stratford Circus in London. Voisey has been profiled and
music broadcasted on HEC-TV public television in St Louis, Elektramusik in
France, as well as radio stations all around the world including: Cityscape
NPR St. Louis Public Radio; Arts & Answers & Art Waves on WKCR, Upbeat with
Eva Radich on Radio New Zealand; and Kol Yisrael Israeli Radio.
Pianist "Yumi Suehiro is an intense musician, one who invests every ounce of
her energy, passion, and intellect into her performances" - New York Concert
Review Inc.
Duo YUMENO "The blending of Japanese and European chamber traditions with a
very American rhythmic propulsion was unexpectedly groovy." - New York Times
Much of composer/guitarist Douglas DaSilva's music is influenced by
Brazilian music and has been described as "very individual, and to us has a
very clear personality" in Classical Guitar Magazine.

FIFTEEN-MINUTES-OF-INFAMY with
Robert Dick
January 25, 2015
Sunday at 1:00pm
This concert features the urgently popular Vox Novus program
"Fifteen-Minutes-of-Fame" which consists of 15 one-minute works by 15 living
composers, selected by the performer and performed as a unified whole,
teaming up with modern flute legend Robert Dick for a unique presentation
called "Fifteen-Minutes-of-Infamy: Robert Dick, modern flute".
The 15 works selected to be premiered are by composers from around the
world: Elizabeth Adams, Syrlane Albuquerque, Rodrigo Baggio, Joseph
Bohigian, David Bohn, Robert Dick, Rocco Di Pietro, David Drexler, Masatora
Goya. David Evan Jones, Michael Mikulka, Maggi Payne, Daniel Schnee, Samuel
Stokes, and David Wolfson.
"...the 15 Minutes of Fame project of Vox Novus is a godsend. It organizes
competitions whereby ensembles commission worldwide calls for submissions of
approximately one-minute pieces, and then select their 15 favorites for
premieres. " - New York Music Culture Examiner
With equally deep roots in classical music old and new and in free
improvisation and new jazz, Robert Dick has established himself as an artist
who has not only mastered, but redefined the flute. Known worldwide for
creating revolutionary visions of the flute's musical role, listening to
Robert Dick play solo has been likened to the experience of hearing a full
orchestra:
"There are few musicians that are truly revolutionary. Robert Dick is one of
them."-Bill Shoemaker, JazzTimes
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH...................."
-Dizzy Gillespie

Fifteen Minutes of Fame

Fifteen_Minutes-of-Fame with Cornelia Petroiu
<http://www.voxnovus.com/member/pic/Cornelia_Petroiu_02.jpg>
Announcing selections:
Fifteen-Minutes-of-Fame with
Cornelia Petroiu
Vox Novus is called for one-minute pieces composed for
Fifteen-Minutes-of-Fame: CLASSIGARD with Cornelia Petroiu, solo viola to be
premiered on February 14, 2015 for Studio Hall of the Romanian Athenaeum,
Bucharest, Romania.
CLASSIGARD: From classical to avant-garde music: switching abruptly from one
style to another; surprisingly unstable music. Each piece can incorporate
different styles or stay within one specific style, thereby leaving the
performer to blend the music into the set of 15 in the CLASSIGARD style!
Cornelia Petroiu has been inspiring composers of various tendencies and
countries, who wrote for her over 100 works. She is fully dedicated to
exploring the sonorities of her viola, and one may hear the concretizing of
her musical research by listening to her 10 CDs. She graduated the Music
Conservatory in Bucharest and deepened her musical studies at
Interlochen-Michigan and Weimar-Germany. Later on, in Paris-CIFAP, she
became familiar to Pro Tools software, as a sound editor.
Always passioned by the chamber music, she was the founder of Brio, Pro
Musica and FlautArchi quartets, in divers instrumental combinations.
Classical music performer at the beginning, she became totally involved in
the contemporary music. She is both founder and member of the Trio Alto
(viola, saxophone and piano), with over 40 world premieres dedicated to it,
up to now. She takes regularly part in international contemporary music
festivals: Musica Electronica Nova (Wroclaw), as the soniste of the
Meta-Duo, the Internationl Conference and the Spectral Music Festival
(Istanbul), Meridian, SIMN, Acousmania (Bucharest), Capitales Sonores
(Paris), 2 Days and 2 Nights of New Music (Odessa), etc. Cornelia Petroiu is
extending the sphere of the musical expression by recording and
post-producing herself most of her instrumental performances.
Works selected for this Fifteen Minutes of Fame include:
Pencil by Dawid Boverhoff, Distortion on Stamitz by Hector Oltra Garcia,
April Rain by Nathan Kelly, Lant i nghei by Tyler Kline, Monomer by Travis
Kneisly, Minute Meditation by Grisha Krivchenia, Fleeting Vision by Michael
Lanci, Stumbled by Christine Lee, I'm Sick of Avant Garde by Robert Lopez,
Just thinking out loud by Steven Harry Markowitz, Putere by Hinse Mutter,
arabesque by Giorgos Papamitrou, Indecision by Jose Jesus de Azevedo Souza,
Serial Triller by Jean-Pierre Vial, and Wondering Thought by Chace Williams
